Payback Is A Mutha

Book excerpt: In this gritty urban drama by the New York Times bestselling author of Honor Thy Thug, a woman who has everything has everything to lose. Brianna and Shan couldn't be more different. Brianna believes that men were born to bankroll her lifestyle—from her $1,200 weave to her closet full of Gucci, Prada, and Chanel. Shan prefers Fubu to Jimmy Choo, and she prefers to buy it with her own money, even if it means working at a men's prison. Still, despite their differences, Shan and B are sisters where it counts. Or so they think . . . For B, lying is part of the hustle. She couldn't care less who gets hurt along the way, as long as it isn't her. But hustling tricks is one thing. Betraying the one person who really cares about you is quite another. When one of B's schemes goes too far, blood is spilled—and Shan is caught in the crossfire. Now, with friendship and lives on the line, Brianna's got one last chance to change her ways—or suffer the consequences . . .
